The Groove Merchant
WANAKA WEDDING DJ
Wanaka rewards a certain kind of attention. The light comes off the lake late into the evening, guests drift outdoors between courses and with The Groove Merchant on task, the music knows when to follow and when to lead.
Exceptional venues and dramatic high country backdrops command both experience and instinct, call it a local's intuition.





The venues
The Rippon Hall, with the vineyard falling away toward Ruby Island and the Southern Alps behind it, is among the finest rooms in the country to play. Edgewater, on the lakefront, provides all that is required to curate the celebration you have long dreamed of.
Glendhu Station puts you in the heart of the high country.
Lookout Lodge looks out to the dramatic alpine vista of Mount Gold and the changing skies above.
Each venue holds distinct character and Central Otago prestige, always inspiring and coaxing the grooves that move.

Every kind of celebration
A traditional Hindu wedding at Edgewater Resort remains one of the most memorable weddings we have been involved with.
A vibrant day of colour, high spirit and meticulous attention to detail.
Multi-day celebrations, careful ritual and ceremony, three generations moving together, an absolute pleasure to be part of.



The Full Day Package
Ceremony through to the last song, one continuous soundtrack. Acoustic familiarity before vows. Colour and warmth through dinner and speeches. By dessert the room turns, and the dance-floor begins to come alive.
Disco, funk, soul, eighties and nineties, house classics, singalongs and high emotional crescendos shared with family, friends and children.
